Juggling practice and game schedules for all those leagues and all those people can be a tangled mess. Especially with the limited number of fields available. The Sleepy Hollow Recreation Complex is expected to solve those problems.

''When you are trying to schedule 35 teams, five nights a week, on two fields, it's difficult,'' said Mark Litwhiler, recreation program coordinator for the department. ''If we had more fields, we could schedule all the 'B' league games on one field and all the 'A' league games on another field, the scheduling would be a lot easier.

''We have a lot of variables, a lot of teams, and a limited number of fields. A field can only be used for three games a night. When we get the new fields, scheduling will be a breeze.''

People who work for the recreation department aren't the only ones excited about the complex. For the people who regularly use Leesburg's facilities, the idea of a completed Sleepy Hollow is exciting.

''The plans are just unbelievable,'' said Bud Dorman, who coaches AJs Screenprinting, the top softball team in Leesburg. ''It will be a feather in the cap, not only for Leesburg but for Lake County, when it is finished. They'll be able to hold some state tournaments there and maybe some national tournaments.''

Dorman, who travels around the state to play softball tournaments, said he hasn't seen a complex, with the possible exception of Merrill Park in Altamonte Springs, that will compare with Sleepy Hollow when it is completed.

''I've talked with all my players about it and everyone is excited,'' Dorman said.
